clashes in rome as activists vent their anger at the government over the other affordable cost of living. syria successfully destroyed all of its chemical weapons production facilities and. reports. about rebel fighters using toxic elements. what looked like a. tropical beach holiday. more like a living hell. and we look at the allegations of torture and abuse as officials try to convince the.

inmates are doing just fine plus. one was called nine eleven. in the wake of nine eleven twelve years after a tragedy american officials are told to keep using september the eleventh as the justification for expanding. life from our studio center here in moscow this is twenty four hours a day fierce clashes in the italian capital have left at least six people injured police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters gathered in central rome to demand better social housing well from the italian capital we're joined live by political analyst committee well activists want to affordable rent and of course

italy's a free market economy so how can authorities lower the prices. well it's very difficult because they can try to lower them when the buildings up public they're still in there is still a stalk off or you know public buildings in the capital but otherwise if they're privates the can try to reduce taxes on their housing which is exactly what is not happening right now. hoping that the owners will lower their rent which is rather improbable so it is a social protest because more and more people are under hardship and. able to pay bassekou needs you know all of you tory car insurance. medicines and public health they reduce also on daily food allowance so

it's it starts to be really critical while as we're talking we showing pictures of the clashes. in rome now the violence reportedly began after officers were provoked by protests is what do you make of the police reaction from what you know so far. well i must say the other time it was the nineteen of them. specialists feared that there could be you know people this hasn't happened and you know despite provocations and despite all sorts response from the police which was within the boundaries of the town and police was rather professional you know hoarding even a charge to contain the situation so i must say that their methods are rather sophisticated and they absolutely try to minimize when possible and differently from two thousand and one in general for the social forum to avoid major problems

and also major media consequences and have a son all of this of course all this anger comes as a result of italy's long term recession it is the eighth largest economy in the world which is more than it can afford so could rome perhaps be in line for a bailout. first of all it is now the ninth economy in the world so the situation is serious for the moment the government does everything to avoid a bailout but surely social problems starts to be more and more shop it's since years they must say since two thousand and six that the situation of social level is worsening fall over most everybody except people who are really guaranteed not only their jobs but all of their paychecks that must be rather high so do you think a bailout would be the right thing after all it appears to work for all and doesn't

it. know a bail out would compromise the credibility off of the debt and this is precisely what mr letters prime minister but also people in the u. p. and central bank try to avoid it would be also a signal. running for speculators who are. shortly euro since at least two years of what is generally called the crisis of the year as in reality a coordinated private financial assault food wouldn't be a good idea to to ask for a lot but something is going to happen those sorts of quickly else you surely something's got to happen as you mentioned about the if the social problems that this recession could have a major impact on society not just now but in the future unless something is done. yes but this means to rebalance at least. the fiscal balance

too many taxes are collected on the middle class proportionally much less people and rentiers of the second seems to warded a position positions among indebted countries in the sequel. these two were you know in an isolated spots fashion they should try to negotiate their positions together within europe and with the private creditor is trying to make a serious that although we have all the spending reviews of the thunder political political analysts live there right thank you very much indeed for joining us here on r.t. thank you very much. all of the facilities used in syria to produce chemical weapons have been destroyed and they had to shut you know it's being seen as a major step on that the russian american brokered deal to rid syria of its stockpile of toxic arms by the middle of twenty fourteen as. what we're hearing now from an

official inside the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons is that damascus has destroyed all equipment that is useful producing mixing and killing chemical weapons this comes a day ahead of the agreed november the first deadline and it is a major achievement in an extremely tight and basis of disarmament program the foreign inspectors who have. well weeks now have visited twenty one of twenty three chemical weapons stockpile sites now the reason given as to why they could not go to two of those scientists because it was simply too dangerous there's been no commitment from the rebels fighting that they will ensure the safety of these inspectors but we have been told that these stockpiles at those two sites were moved to sites that the inspectors did in fact investigate the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons says it is extremely satisfied with the way this disarmament program has gone ahead and that all is on track for the final deadline

which is the middle of next year by the way syria would have destroyed all of its chemical weapons stockpiles we're receiving reports that earlier this week rebels carried out an attack in which they allegedly used chemical weapons in the north east of the country near the turkish border now it happened near a check post of kurdish defense forces and according to those forces immediately following the explosion of a shell there was a yellow smoke they also say that they are suffering from symptoms of chemical in hell ation and noisier now the russian foreign ministry is calling for an urgent investigation and says it is extremely worrying that this incident is not receiving why disparate coverage. the tough task of chemical disarmament is discussed next world support oksana boyko talks to a renowned expert on chemical weapons and also whether the bushes goals in syria or achievable is a quick preview for you. i would like to use your of technical expertise and ask you this question how easy it is for our non-state actors for rebel groups to

produce those types of chemicals in an artisan the way the production of blister nerve agents is actually not very difficult there are recipes on the web site on the web sites on the web. we know that in the. terrorist group in japan in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. they produced actually a homemade kind of do it yourself serenading a very similar to what's being used in syria today. that come your way a little later today on a teen an american based human rights organization found what it calls systematic violations that blunter them obey prison is calling for the immediate closure of the facility even though washington insists everything there is fine ladies and started chatting and i went to the infamous prison itself to see what it's really like and here is the latest in a series of reports. every morning at eight am the u.s.

national anthem erupts across the beast that holds america's most scandalous prison no one likes to be spit on no one wants to have their own on torture hunger strikes and suicides have marred this place since two thousand and two and they're human beings after all they're there's no reason to expect that they enjoy being here you know we pretend otherwise prisoners held indefinitely in the name of the never ending war on terror whether they're innocent or guilty is not our job right now we have the court system determined that in just over a decade a total of seven hundred seventy nine prisoners the majority released without charges today one hundred sixty four remain over half of them cleared for release but still kept locked up. on the other side of the barbed wire. life is a blast. furnace and water and it's nice there's nothing really bad about here

just like any common american town now is awfully scared to come here but i mean it's absolutely beautiful place when you get around other stuff getting around the other stuff is not hard a lot of what goes on here is kept under a thick veil of denial and secrecy candle to house as a hospital and library and this is also the place where patients are force fed and even though the hunger strike is largely and officially said to be over we know that at least fifteen people are continually being force fed here today a tube is passed down through a person's nostril and pushed all the way down to their stomach before it's passed down the nose we lubricate it in we give the patient a choice do they want to have the key which is agent it will numb the area or if they want olive oil to lubricate the tube. most of our patients have been using all of the will like it in fact some of our patients are so. used to this they will describe which nostril they want this while

major world medical bodies are in agreement that force feeding is not ethical and should not be practiced the force feeding them i've got my clients of experience to guantanamo they've certainly described it as torture the restraint chair that they're strapped into they actually call the torture chair an arabic force feeding takes up to forty five minutes and is performed twice a day the patients that had the civilian world have said it feel strange i've never heard insisting on. i have not heard that good move fishes are beyond nonchalant about the highly criticized practice you might feel differently from the way i might feel uncomfortable has been the most of it i have heard but they don't even believe in what this thing anymore because they know it sounds stupid i volunteer that the procedure be demonstrated on me request declined the prisoners who've not met one another and speak different languages keep saying the same thing that we were tortured used. tied. to the chair legs to the ground they.

struck across and they forced in a tube into our noses never in thirteen years have detainees been allowed to speak directly to a journalist while remaining at get most only leaking statements through lawyers they would love nothing more than to sit down with journalists and just tell them you know about their daily lives but communicating seems to only occur here if someone was it a point where maybe they had been verbalizing a lot of hopelessness we were immediately intervening and trying to assist that person to make sure that there wasn't any thoughts of maybe wanting to harm themselves or in their lives with charts like these often used to pinpoint patients despair you asked them how do you feel right now and they'll be able to point to it we have not had a patient in this area. thank heavens meanwhile six suicides and dozens of suicide attempts have taken place at the detention facility we haven't seen any autopsies

the u.s. government hasn't released any formal reports or findings we're now outside two active camps at guantanamo camp five fold single cells where the so-called less compliant detainees are held camp number six is one filled with communal cells when officials deemed the detainees have behaved better there warded by being allowed to live in groups while detainees are kept away from us what we witness are clean empty prison cells with cozy pajamas colgate toothpaste and maximum security shampoos paraded in front of journalists as proof everything is so much better here than any silly horror stories we all have heard and. cuba so we're trying to shed some light on what is actually going on inside guantanamo every week he has a new report from inside the detention center this is all to you live from moscow with the twenty four hours a day more news after the break. technology

innovation. developments around russia we've got the future covered. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations around the day.

he continues here in r t snowden's revelations about the n.s.a. has seen u.s. intelligence bosses go to great lengths to justify their activities officially they've been told to use nine eleven as they may know argument according to a document leaked in the media and some politicians are happy to follow that advice what i want to tell you about is how did we get here nine eleven prior to nine eleven we had no way of connecting those dots what section two fifteen does is allow the government to connect the dots these dutch should have and likely could have been connected to prevent nine eleven many of these reform proposals run the

risk of recreating the type of cumbersome over lawyer phase a regime that proved so inadequate in the wake of nine eleven one incident was called nine eleven that should never happen again. let's discuss washington's approach now with pepe escobar he's an asia times correspondent joins me live now from london offices twelve years on now after those nine eleven attacks it is fair to justify the fact that mass surveillance does continue as it is a good excuse and. it's the gift that keeps on giving fact and by the way do you remember the famous august six thousand and one memo that the congolese the rice read is that old there's nothing here so she did not connect the dots and the n.s.a. at that i did not connect the dots but german intelligence egyptian intelligence russian intelligence they were connecting the dots and saying look there's going to

be something really big happening. in less than a month you know one month later in fact it happened and nowadays we have this electronic mule filled the listener in built in the george orwell orwellian panopticon complex where the piece of it has to start it's always nine eleven justifying spying on virtually every citizen in the world from sub-saharan africa to western china this is completely absurd because they are not for any thoughts because of electronic surveillance and the kind of electronic surveillance that they do for instance enough fuck especially in pakistan the three ngo late cell phone calls and they cannot blast anything and everybody that is squatting between this cell phone calls they have a health fire missile over their heads and with enormous call lots of damage has been proved report after report so you know the guys that they should be running against or running with or trying to trample over they are still over there what do

you make of the latest reports that even the vatican has been monitored by the essay have you heard about that even that suggesting that the conclave to choose the pope was listened in on what why would they be doing that. essentially what's the point of monitoring the private. phones of a brazilian president dilma rousseff and german chancellor angela merkel for that matter the degree of response inside the u.s. it's also fascinating if it's somebody from mostly countries the global south developing world they don't care the case of on the americas very specific she's like one of ours like you know a member of the masters of the universe to washington so now there's a i would say a minimum of salt called debate in washington d.c. about or maybe the n.s.a.

overstepped their bounds on top of it we cannot believe in any seeing general keith alexander chief of n.s.a. says he is an orwellian functionary you know defending you pretty realistic myth of all of g. fact it's complete it's beyond surrealism because it doesn't make sense if you don't have the ground tell you cannot fight what was called the war on terror and the obama administration started to call overseas contingency operations all c.e.o. you cannot do all c.e.o. with without boots on the ground in terms of intel just very briefly if you watch homeland the american series you know that. just briefly much of this has been centered of course on europe but your asia times correspondent there based in london of course asia has been missed out on all of this because apparently australian embassies were being used to intercept calls on behalf of the n.s.a. so not just asia but also the fact the embassy is being used to mean that countries

should be very wary of what embassies are doing within their own countries and in the worldwide network. or yes absolutely. we respect to the big five the speaking world let's put it this way in southeast asia a lot of diplomats for a few years now be had they were suspicious that the americas and perhaps the of really up to no good in terms of monitoring information now they have proof in china this is a huge scandal ever since snowden was in hong kong and then when the first batch of information it's very important that he released involved spying on chinese universities chinese companies home comb companies you name it so in china this is followed on an everyday basis meticulously and china is also speaking for a lot of the developing world all across asia central asia south asia southeast

asia you name it that's all and this is not going to stop and james clapper kiesel that. they already said many times it's going to go along just like before and they will always come back to the gift that keeps on giving nine eleven own last we're going to have perhaps another nine eleven provoked by saudi arabians by the way so why not the n.s.a. doing the connection between. intercepting communications in saudi arabia saudi one hobby creatures and the fact that al qaeda is whatever which way you look at it it could be dubbed as a branch of saudi well and directly involved in nine eleven are they making this going to actions forget it. live in london asia times correspondent thank you very much indeed for your thoughts here. thank you well more details on the techniques used by the n.s.a. are being revealed

a report in the washington post shows the agency's been harvesting huge amounts of data from google and yahoo by breaking into their communications links this sketch from an internal presentation shows how the n.s.a. intercepts google traffic by tapping into the company's data cables millions of records are collected in this when a daily basis is part of a program code named muscular and the n.s.a. engineers in joy what they're doing if the smiley face is anything to go by or to get a clearer idea of what these do mean check out r.t. dot com and the man behind all those leaks is now earning his keep edward snowden is no longer unemployed the n.s.a. whistleblower who's got temporary asylum in russia may start a new job as early as tomorrow and just like the previous one it will make use of his computer skills but there will be no state secrets this time you got to get off has the details. been representing edward snowden in russia the

former n.s.a. contractor. working for a major russian web site in the even. in this department of technical support mr katrina didn't specify which web site exactly. russia's largest social networks offered him a job as a security specialist so we don't know whether or not snowden will actually be going to. be dragging the rest of the.

holds the entire project together and yet these two countries that are reportedly cutting a secret deal to protect their main industries again e.u. regulation it's a tit for tat britain's proposing to support germany's to delay the introduction of it on carbon dioxide emissions. and in return britain is seeking germany's help to protect the banking sector from the ways of brussels regulations the proposed deal may also include. practically every member has something to complain about. pricing

policies spain is unhappy with. others criticize budget contributions. and bailouts whether it's. for punishing economic regimes after receiving it all combined to undermine the project but now that two of the powerful members. to defy the rules of the organization it looks like. a whole new. time now for some other world news. has been rocked by. four people being killed in. a bicycle went off in a busy area in the city of course is not known. but the region is known for. militants targeting members of the sheer minority. in the u.s.

state of california hundreds gathered for another protest over the recent killing of a thirteen year old. eighth grader was last tuesday with seven bullets because he was carrying a replica of an assault rifle protesters demanded the officer responsible to be brought to justice and called for a transparent investigation. that's it for the moment i'll be back with more news with the team in just a half an hour from now in the meantime it is financial revelations from next and stacy in the kaiser report coming up next. the office of civil rights in the city of seattle washington has told city employees that certain terms may not be used in official emails and discussions according to google fox news these terms would be brown bag and citizen ninety nine

percent of americans when they hear the expression brown bag think of taking a nice healthy lunch you know in a brown paper bag to work with themselves but in politically correct insanity land these words are an obvious reminder of the days when a person's skin color was compared to a brown paper bag to determine race well if any were even remotely linked to an incident of racism needs to be banned then we've got to get rid of the word blanket because they gave the native americans disease filled blankets to kill them i and they block their land with beads so we've got to get rid of that word to remember the separate drinking fountains and segregated buses based on race in america yes so we can't say those words anymore either only might just possibly remember something bad which could lead to the ultimate horror of the modern western world unpleasant thoughts we see a lot of western countries the term citizen becoming offensive because it makes resident foreigners legal or illegal feel like second class people well compared to actual citizens legally you kind of are if you're offended that you are not treated as a citizen of seattle why not assimilate become

a citizen of the united states join the team but that's just my opinion. welcome to the kaiser report i'm max keiser you know it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place said the red queen to alice it takes all the printing you could do to keep in the same place said the banks are to bernanke it takes all the working you can do to keep in the same place said the neal futile facts to the chumps who have to work for a living.
